T1 - Comprehensive analysis of ordering in CoCrNi and CrNi2 alloys N2 - Chemical Short-Range Order (CSRO) has attracted recent attention from many researchers, creating intense debates about its impact on material properties. The challenges lie in confirming and quantifying CSRO, as its detection proves exceptionally demanding, contributing to conflicting data in the literature regarding its true effects on mechanical properties. Our work uses highprecision calorimetric data to unambiguously prove the existence and, coupled with atomistic simulations, quantify the type of CSRO. This methodology allows us to propose a mechanism for its formation and destruction based on the heat evolution during thermal analysis and facilitates a precise identification of local ordering in CoCrNi alloys. Samples of CoCrNi (Co33Cr33Ni33) and CrNi2 (Cr33Ni66) alloys are fabricated in varying ordered states, extensively characterized via synchrotron X-ray diffraction, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. Samples with considerably different ordered states are submitted to tensile tests with in-situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction. We demonstrate, despite inducing varied CSRO levels in CoCrNi, no significant alterations in overall mechanical behavior emerge. However, the CrNi2 alloy, which undergoes long-range ordering, experiences significant shifts in yield strength, ultimate tensile stress and ductility.

T1 - Decreased Metal Dusting Resistance of Ni-Cu Alloys by Fe and Mn Additions N2 - Ni-Cu alloys are promising for application at temperatures between 400–900 °C and reducing atmospheres with high C-contents. Typically, under such conditions, metallic materials in contact with the C-rich atmosphere are degraded by a mechanism called metal dusting (MD). Ni-Cu-alloys do not form protective oxide scales, but their resistance is attributed to Cu, which catalytically inhibits the C-deposition on the surface. Adding other alloying elements, such as Mn or Fe, was found to enhance the MD attack of Ni-Cu alloys again. In this study, the effect of the Mn and Fe is divided into two affected areas: the surface and the bulk. The MD attack on binary Ni-Cu alloys, model alloys with Fe and Mn additions, and commercial Monel Alloy 400 is experimentally demonstrated. The surface electronic structure causing the adsorption and dissociation of C-containing molecules is investigated for model alloys. Analytical methods such as scanning electron microscopy combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, electron probe microanalysis combined with wavelength-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis, and near-edge X-ray absorption fine structure measurements were used. The results are correlated to CALPHAD calculations and atomistic simulations combining density functional theory calculations and machine learning. It is found that the Cu content plays a significant role in the surface reaction. The effect of Mn and Fe is mainly attributed to oxide formation. A mechanism explaining the enhanced attack by adding both Fe and Mn is proposed.

An experimental size-mismatch parameter, δexp, is determined to be ca. 50% lower than the corresponding calculated value. Around W, short-range order (SRO) preferring 4d elements in the 1st and 2nd shells persists. A Nb-W ordering is found, which is reminiscent of ordering emerging at lower temperatures in the B2(Mo,W;Ta,Nb)- and B32(Nb,W)-phases. With high-temperature ordering preferences in fcc also foreshadowing low-temperature phase, these findings suggest a general feature of high-temperature SRO.
